Problem:  Bobcat Model ZS4061SK and Kubota Model SZ22NC-48-2 Stand-On Zero Turn Mowers have defective steering dampers that prevent the mower’s control levers from returning to a neutral position, activation of the operator presence switch, and engine shutdown.  This creates crash, laceration, and other injury hazards for the operator and bystanders.


Sold:  About 830 mowers were sold in the US and about 30 were sold in Canada.


Actions:  Owners should immediately discontinue use of these mowers and contact Bobcat at 1-800-743-4340 or Kubota at 1-888-458-2682 to arrange for a free inspection and repair.
